"Tragic Turn: 10-Year-Old Texan in NYC ICU After Dream Birthday Trip"

A Texas family's dream birthday trip to New York City turned tragic when their 10-year-old son, Riker Stippick, became violently ill and was induced into a coma at a New York City ICU. Doctors believe he may have experienced an arteriovenous malformation, leading to an aneurysm and excruciating pain. Surgeons had to perform a procedure to drain blood and fluid from his brain. The family is now praying for Riker to wake up and receive a diagnosis as their community rallies around them for support.
